Wydad Athletic Club and Mamelodi Sundowns have announced their starting line-ups for this evening’s CAF Champions League semi-final first-leg encounter at Stade Mohammed V.
Yet another standstill fixture for Africa as defending champions Wydad battle with 2016 winners in Morocco.
A journey that started with over 50 African clubs is now down to four. Wydad has a chance to defend their title.
The Moroccan giants are sitting second in Botola Pro a point behind leaders ASFAR.
They have a mission to defend both trophies but they find it difficult at this moment with Sundowns in their way.
Masandawana on the other side has shifted their focus after winning the league with seven games to spare.
A few weeks ago we were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup, meaning they have only one trophy to fight for to complete the double this season.
They are currently the most feared team in Africa after thumping Al Ahly SC and CR Belouizdad in the 2022/23 season.
These two sides have faced each other 10 times and Sundowns has never defeated Wydad on their home soil.
The game kicks off this evening at 21h00.
Wydad XI: El Motie, Aboufath, Jabrane, Jaadi, El Hassouni, Ounajem, Idrissi, Sambou, Amloud, Bouhra, Kiaku
Subs: Benayada, Moutaraji, Mourid, Haimoud, Baouch, Boussefiane, Ellafi, Allal, Ahadad.
